Yeah I wasn’t sure if I’d like it or not. I actually owned a B9 RS5 a couple of years back and I removed the letters on it as I thought it looked a bit busy, but I really like this.
How did you get them nicely lined up and evenly spaced out?
I’ve seen the set that came with the grill but it looks like you have to take them off the sheet and apply them individually

I measured the width of the grill and the height of the bottom section and took a centre point. Then measured the letters with a 2mm spacing between them and that then gave me a starting point from the left hand side. I measured about 18mm down from the top and marked a line with tape.
Then used a 2mm spacer between each letter. When placing the Ts, I lined these up with the rest of the preceding letters from the bottom.

Quick, easy job!
What is that?
Quick question @moonstone @Denso i think you both run 20s and 255 30 20 tyres and just wanted to know what tyre pressures you run?

38 on the from and 32 on the rear for me. Just as per the door sticker.
Thanks both, I knew these pressures but the backs seem really low to be able to handle the pot holes?

Youre right. I've thought the same and I've been thinking about pumping them up a wee bit myself.
Time to turn my attention to the exterior. Was going to start with the badges but a set of the 5 spoke blade rims turned up for a sensible price so quick change of plan. First job was to get them refurbished - picked them up at the weekend and am well pleased with the results. In the meantime found some Audi Sport decals which I applied this morning x be interesting to see if / how long these last
This afternoons job was is to get the new rims onto the car but it’s decided to start raining so that will have to wait until it stops.

Like those. Love the yellow decals as well. 👌🏻
Off to Audi to get some service bits
....and then MOT time
Rather interestingly, I am de-catted, K&N and a down pipe so I must be stage 2. I have just ordered the Racing line Filter as recommended then I'll have it custom mapped for hopefully 400bhp!

If you’re running a decat and a down pipe that means you’ve no middle resonator, same as me. I’m surprised you thought the sound was standard!
This is the first 4 pot TT I have ever been near, so I had no idea what a standard one sounded like. Only really know what the RS sounds like. Whilist it was on the ramp I took a couple of pictures, the tester said something has been cut out, but you might be able to tell?

It’s still there. Usually when a de-cat is done the resonator delete is done at the same time. Most decat kits come with a resonator delete pipe.
That’s just my understanding from looking around online recently though. I’m a bit new to this stuff myself.
